JOY: Entirely based on what God has done for us in Christ through the Spirit 3. PEACE: “shalom” “wholeness; well being” A virtue that stands against the works of the flesh 4. FORBEARANCE: “The passive and tenacious side of love” 5. KINDNESS: “The active and tenacious side of love” 6. GOODNESS: “all embracing quality of character” 7. FAITH “Trust in God producing a long obedience in the same direction” 8. GENTLENESS: “Humility towards self that produces considerateness toward others” 9.
